Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions:There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer One In ancient times wealth was measured and exchanged in things that could be tou ched: food, tools, and precious metals and stones. Then the barter system was repla ced by coins, which still had real value since they were pieces of rare metal. Coin s were followed by fiat money, paper notes that have value only because everyone ag rees to accept them.Today electronic monetary systems are gradually being introduced that will tra nsform money into even less tangible forms, reducing it to a series of “bits and b ytes”, or units of computerized information, going between machines at the speed o f light. Already, electronic fund transfer allows money to be instantly sent and received by different banks, companies, and countries through computers and telecommu nications devices.61.

For the fir st group the room was painted white; for the second, dark brown. Movement of each g roup was followed by an electrical equipment under the carpet. The experiment showe d that those who entered the dark brown walked more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in the room than people in the white one. Dark brown made people m ore active, but the activity ended sooner. Not only the choice of colors but also t he general appearance of a room affects those inside. Another experiment presented people with photographs of faces whose energy was to be commented. Three groups of people were used; each was shown the same photos, but each group was in an ordinary room—a nice office. The third was in a tastefully designed living room with carpeting. Results showed that the people in the beautiful room tend to give higher mark s to the faces than those in the ugly room did.

We all have to learn how to stop wasting our limited water. One of the steps we should take is to find ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field.Today in most large cities, fresh water is used only once, then it runs into w aste system. But it is possible to pipe the used water to a purifying factory. Ther e it can be filtered and treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, just as it were fresh from a spring.But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. Then we could turn to the oceans. All we’d have to do to make use of the seawater on earth is to get rid of the salt. This process is called desalinizat ion, and it is already in use in many parts of the world.71. The way to stop wasting our limited water is to ________.A. do experiments with waterB. purify the used water and reuse itC. use fresh water once againD. make use of seawater正确答案是:B 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------72.

The best tit le for the passage is “_______”.A. How to Reuse WaterB. Two Solutions to the Problem of Water ShortageC. Stop Wasting Our Limited WaterD. How to Make Use of SeawaterPassage Four正确答案是:B 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Some people hate everything that is modern. They cannot imagine how anyone can really like modern music; they find it hard to accept the new fashions in clothing; they think that all modern painting is ugly; and they seldom have a good word for the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world. Such people look fo r perfection in everything, and they take their standards of perfection from the pa st. They are usually impatient with anyone who is brave enough to experiment with n ew or to express himself or the age in materials original ways. It is, of course, t rue that many artists do not succeed in their work and instead produce works that c an only be considered as failures. If the work of art is a painting, the artist’s failure concerns himself alone, but if it is a building, his failure concerns others too, because it may damage the beauty of the whole place. This does sometimes hap pen, but it is completely untrue to say, as some people do, that modern architectur e is nothing.We can’t judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time, ev en though we admire the ancient buildings. Technologically, the modern buildings ar e more advanced. The modern architect knows he should learn from the ancient works, but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials, he will never be conten t to imitate the past. He is too proud to do that.76. Some people hate everything that is modern because _______.A. they are agedB. they find it hard to accept modern thingsC. they take their standards of perfection from the GreekD. they look at things by the standards of the past正确答案是:D 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------77.
